Fractional AI Strategist
You Built Something Real.
Now Let's Make AI Work for It.
I partner with founders who know AI could change everything — and want someone in their corner who'll tell them the truth.
“I think it's the care he puts into it that separates him. He's obsessed with becoming a good leader in a way someone should be obsessed with it.”
— Nicole F, Portfolio Manager
Trusted by real estate teams, multi-location businesses, and medical practices across North America
You didn't get here by accident.
You built something real. Revenue. A team that counts on you. A reputation you earned the hard way. Seven, ten, maybe fifteen years of solving problems nobody else wanted to touch.
And now there's this thing — AI — and you know it matters. You can feel it. But the reality is fourteen browser tabs, three half-finished tools your team abandoned after a week, and this nagging feeling that your competitors figured out something you haven't.
Meanwhile, you're still spending 12+ hours a week on work that a well-built system could handle for the cost of a few software subscriptions. That's not a failure of effort. It's a failure of having the right partner.
The winners aren't the first to adopt AI. They're the first to adopt it strategically.
You don't need another tool demo. You don't need a 50-page strategy deck that collects dust. You need someone who'll sit across from you, understand what you've built, and help you figure out where AI actually moves the needle — then stay until it's working.
I don't do drive-by consulting. I build partnerships.
Hi, I'm Steve
I'm the person your team will actually listen to. Not because of a title, but because I show up, I tell the truth, and I stay until it works.
When I commit to your business, I don't treat it like a project — I treat it like it's mine. I challenge you when something isn't working. I celebrate your people when they break through. And I never disappear after the contract is signed.
Why AI
When AI hit, I recognized the pattern: this is our generation's internet moment. The winners aren't the first to adopt — they're the first to adopt strategically. I went all in, and now I help founders do the same without the expensive mistakes.
What Drives Me
I'm obsessed with becoming the best version of myself — Ironman finisher, 38 countries, always learning. Rebecca and our dog Nora keep me grounded. I volunteer with KidSport Victoria because I believe community builds leaders. Everything I do, in business and life, is about showing up better for the people around me.

The Proof
“I was spending 15 hours a week just on proposal writing and client follow-ups. My actual billable time was getting crushed. I knew there had to be a better way, but every AI tool I tried just created more work.”
— Construction contractor, 8-person team
“We automated our proposal system and follow-up sequences. I got back 12 hours a week and our close rate actually went up because responses are faster and more consistent. My team actually enjoys using the tools now.”

Who This Is For
This is for you if...
- You've built a real business—revenue, team, reputation—and you've hit a ceiling you can't think your way past
- You know AI could change things, but you're tired of surface-level advice and tools that don't stick
- You want a partner who'll tell you the truth, not just tell you what you want to hear
- You lead with your gut and you're ready to pair that instinct with systems that scale
- You're 7-10+ years in and thinking about the next chapter, not just the next quarter
This is NOT for you if...
- You want a magic bullet or a quick fix with no real commitment
- You're looking for someone to 'set it and forget it'—AI doesn't work that way
- You want a vendor to execute tasks, not a partner to challenge your thinking
- You're not willing to invest time alongside the technology
I primarily work with real estate teams, multi-location businesses, and medical practices — but the common thread is the operator, not the industry.
Let's have a conversation.
Tell me a little about what you're working on and I'll be in touch personally.

Frequently Asked Questions
The questions I hear most often.
It means you get a seasoned AI partner without the cost of a full-time hire. I work with a select number of clients so I can go deep with each one—not spread thin across dozens of accounts like a typical consultant.
Most consultants deliver a report and disappear. I stay. I implement alongside you, train your people, and iterate based on what actually works in your business. Think of it less like hiring a vendor, more like gaining a partner.
Primarily organizations between 20 and 500+ employees—large enough to have meaningful processes to improve, focused enough that my involvement creates real impact.
I'll tell you that directly. I've turned away clients when the timing wasn't right. My reputation depends on delivering results, not selling engagements.
